"This character is taken from my most recent series of Stabby Women
‘wheat-pastes’ - an ongoing, international campaign for the past decade.
I’ve pasted this particular design in the streets of Paris as well as
my hometown, Sheffield. Over the years, the Stabby Women have invaded
the streets of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, São Paulo, Rio de
Janeiro, Melbourne, Berlin, Venice, Milan, Zurich, Barcelona, Munich,
Vienna and many more...

This is my 5th edition with 1xRun and by far the most ambitious to date.
As with the other releases, I have hand-printed these myself, however I
usually stay within the relative comfort zone of 1 - 3 colors. This
time we’ve gone for a 6 color design, all of which are hand-embellished
with india ink. There is also a 2nd color variation (with more
hand-customization) as well as 2 originals, collaged onto reclaimed
wood. It’s been a pretty labor intensive process, but I’m really happy
with how the whole set has turned out.

I probably spent 2 or 3 weeks in the studio making this series of work.
Since the last edition with 1xRun, I’ve gained more experience as a
print-maker. As well as making numerous prints for other artists and
designers, I’ve also taught screen print workshops at Sheffield
Institute of Arts and spent a year working as a print technician at the
Royal Collage of Art in London. Aside from the multiple layers, I’ve
chosen inks and paper stock, which I feel compliment the image and add a
higher level of production value compared to my previous work.

There are tons of artists releasing print editions these days, but I’d
say there are very few who are printing the artwork themselves, or
who have invested interest in the screen printing process. If you’re
looking for a signature piece made 100% by the artist, this print is for
you." - Kid Acne

ABOUT THE ARTIST:Kid Acne is a UK-based artist, illustrator, print-maker and emcee. His formative years were spent writing graffiti, self-publishing fanzines and making experimental hip-hop – invariably designing and printing the record sleeves by hand. The combination of these interests informed the development of his own unique aesthetic, first documented in the seminal Scrawl tome (Booth-Clibborn Editions, 1999). A stalwart of the international Street Art movement, Kid Acne has painted large-scale murals across continents and exhibited extensively over the past two decades. Rendered in a distinct illustrative style, his art explores a variety of themes from colloquialisms and typography to mythology and architecture. Most notable however, are his depictions of a self-realised tribe of enigmatic female warriors known as Stabby Women.

Kid Acne’s work can be seen throughout the globe; from wheat-pastes in Melbourne, to gallery shows in Los Angeles, murals in South Yorkshire and animations online. And he still has acne.
